Default Headers Install by MTI

I made an appointment at MTI for the 22nd to have a set of Kooks headers, Kooks X-pipe and High Flow Cats installed. Since I am a forum member I received a nice discount. Since I already had a dyno there and I am a forum member they will redo the Dyno after the header install at N/C.

I can't wait to feel the power and the improved sound.

Wow!! If I get that type of increase I'll be very very happy.

I also had a baseline of 309 rwhp. After my Dyno tune last week I was at 327.6 rwhp. I wonder how much of your gain was from the dyno tune and how much was from the pipes? I am guessing it might be a bit unrealistic for me to expect an additional 30 rwhp from just the pipes.

Ah, you are correct. Mine was dialed in a little after the install and you are already there. Hard to tell how much extra you'll get. But headers are just the first step
